a peon chambermaid whoever stole bungalows trousers wrap around deserves to get their fingers broken and that's the end of that send in the u.n. troops all systems go cause bone go minus trousers equals i don't want to know. that my christmas wish has come true bongos trousers i heard you read that over tom baker's shop and so our i got this fabulous jacket i did with jack. all right first thing and asked john cooper clarke what is the inspiration and what were you thinking there on the bongos trousers and i don't think i'm speaking out of school when i say i think that's referring to panto i think sure is yeah yeah well i was about four or five years ago when was it the g eight conference satan vancouver the subway it was an ecological event you know. all the world leaders were invited obviously prince chief of

the po that. whoever was president of the united states but and will leaders with an ecological with it would ecological concerns were all me. and true but also campaign canadia it easy to forget about canadian way down there next to mexico but it it it came out of the pool and it was that was the focal point of anybody that was concerned with the planning right of course bono was the the represent. the descend from the record buying public now what about this idea that bond our bond represents the global disenfranchised i think when he's g eight meetings occur when he's been confines occur they haven't got the world leaders and then there's been no is there a stance a plea to represent well what does he represent exactly what he read is there to represent those the dissent from rock n roll by public and the our what couldn't.

they carry your sleeve we could serve as big carry asli through the likes of go but the thing is i was writing something else entirely at that when i heard this on a news flash that somebody had been a nice dresser and room you don't basically got their eighty's let the stride stetson rep around shades it took a look at the dress codes of the of his consent for is a comb out look a like they a road so they've even the dalai lama in the pope will wear a language through it so it's. got change and a lounge suit to give himself a bit of grab it sas on behalf of those that descend from. while it's been out there given his five minutes go back to change back into the bone go super hero rookie rules go into his usual strip of lead the jean said rep or absorb these

and somebody pinched him and that was it that was the moment it was that was that i thought well you know he is trying to go to the well what's that what does he get something even swine pinches all these pieces back john cooper clarke the you're having an enormous resurgence people are beginning to realize that there is still a master of genius from the punk era still alive and kicking and doing great stuff why now is this punk resurgence happening in oh it looks to me. you've got a rejection of everything that's going on right now including the the g eighty seven g. twenty conference and there's a new spirit out there something about to happen something about to change what do you what are your thoughts is there another kind of social revolution coming well i don't want just to get there it's

a it's really you know it's. things like punk and so house music and things like that you know that these phenomena these pop phenomena that sweep oh before you know could never be predicted i don't think they seem to go hand in hand the way that they used to be and back in the days of the music business which of course has taken a bit of a bashing recently. you know let's talk about that for a second because of course in the last few years you've had a tremendous technological revolution with room with and people don't really buy knees anymore and to talk about that you're done a lot of live performances is there a connection there well i was that was always my main squeeze anyway like the phone was just so things that we've changed that much for me and not rigged but who knew when they learned how to send a message via a computer it would lead to compulsory pono graffiti in every home of the death of the music business it's what they called

a load of old and said it comes equipped to right now the impact on the business there's a lot of people arguing that it's been a positive thing in terms of bringing about new forms of distribution is new means it's getting out there there's more music out there of course the artists are not being paid as they want to. eat as they were but they are me doing a live show as they are changing their models a bit are you having any of this or is it just. it's a tar and terrible development this what's gone on i can't i really don't know much about the world of computers to be oldish so there's a new phenomenon called steam punk you heard that it's kind of technological but. that this century style set the logical head of steam and i got a lot of sun for that kind of. code that they wouldn't say it was

a low down i just. you know not going to check no logical generally i'm pretty low all right so let is really so. but it's a how to say oh any where any new music would be defend what threw me in right and in any way that i would you know did it so. the message of music the music and its message and the fact that in the sixty's for examples it was right there with the the civil rights movement and music was a huge thing during the seventies had the stature kind of revolution that seemed to bring about punk as saying at against that what was going on in society then you had this period of really reaganism and fatter ism which you seem to go into a more stadium punk rock you two kind of period of well really yeah you quite right lot of patriotism but things are changing obviously they're changing because john cooper clarke is back in the house and really the king is back and so something is

happening we are the subjects of the king must hear what's happening what's going on but like i say things operate changed a bit for me to say well i've always you know of always. that's always been my main thing live but life show what were you surprised when your poetry was included now in the official syllabus of the of the education system here in britain i was kind of surprised but it did me a lot of good and i think it's generally. responsible for. any renewed interest in my still and only because you know that catchment area when when people were still doing it for the g.c.'s that was a time when. the likes of alex to have a. plan b. would have been to give them and they came across still to think so it's been very good for me that. and there any any hopes for becoming the official poet laureate of the britain well i think i think that should go to

a permit is yes because she'd do a great job of it probably all for the. right behind i'm guessing but she'd do a great job of it. it would make her happy all right so john could be her that makes happy. here for it's me happy i saw him and we're on the cusp of now of twenty thirteen so you have to put on your prediction and camp for a second you've got obviously a lot of cross currents things happening in politics and culture. we established that throughout the past twenty five or thirty years the only constant seemingly in this ever changing world is john cooper clark and you are the star around which the entire universe appears to be revolving i'm glad you think so much so that we can look forward to that continuing. for the rest of the mortals. trends perhaps do you see in the next twelve months.

i know it's a tremendous pressure. being put it sure is it sure well i think football wise i think united are going to get a oh there she is. fashion wise i don't see the two piece fading now and it's on the lounge lounge the lounge suit is. making a big comeback and even on the high street that's you know stated that they have now the one z's i mean other style of their comb for yeah but like all comfortable clothes they look it looks terrible at the supermarket not so you know when you're looking good would you feel uncomfortable so what one sees perhaps will cross over to the mainstream most and you have a one zero one see is that one piece kind of well who's got the i got a bolus way from guantanamo to do these days that the dress codes out there given aren't spoilers really yeah they used to call them sirens in the days of world war two went to the church of war will want to pinch drop one actually construct one

was a bethink rod or something a pencil boiler suit could be the fast hold at a point there was talk talk to tom baker with the drafts fantastica all right well that i think i think we've done i think we've got i think we put it we could fashion we call it fashion sports politics what else what i was the all right john cooper clarke time but thanks so much for being on the kaiser report my pleasure max all right that's going to do for the first time the kaiser report once again thanks john cooper clarke when we come back i'll be speaking with the wonderous and chanting stacy herbert. good leverage to let you in the current. most sophisticated robot which fortunately doesn't give a darn about anything tim's mission to teach the creation why it should care about humans and world this is why you should care only.

sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything you thought. i'm tom harpur welcome to the big picture. deadly rivals. good fifteen thousand people killing each other in any other country there would be diplomats there would be a good. self imposed from society i will tell myself that my going to my brother.

in. law going to leave. the cause of my anger and my frustration. got upgraded well into the. two most violent gangs in us history. as a stall model kill or be killed with colors matching the national flag. but this country uses violence when it reaches and then it legitimizes that. they are made in america. please speak your language. programs and documentaries in arabic

it's all here on. reporting from the world talks about stuff your p.c. interviews intriguing stories tell you. then try. to find out more visit our big don't know it's called.

welcome back to the kaiser report i'm max kaiser the kris kringle of financial apocalypse time now to turn to stacy herbert my lovely stacy herbert. next. i really want to get to the bottom of this question of who stole bongos trousers and i think it could be very david cameron or george osborne because you know while they have slashed the budget across the united kingdom for the people of the united kingdom they have increased their overseas aid budget and in order to pay for that perhaps they planned on selling bongos trousers or bonaduce trousers

on the international market blackwork it yeah well i think the poem you know it's about the fragility of the global system you know that you have these g twenty and g seven con fabs. and they all seem to be talking around the issues meanwhile the stain of a global economy is getting more dire more fragile and something like stealing bottles trousers could be that straw that broke the camel's back it could be the way for that goes into the man at the money python movie where then explodes you say that's not a poem is about it's about it's about fragility in the system. i do seem to recall the promise trousers were stolen right at the peak of the bubble the global fine before the global financial collapse happened but you know what this increase in overseas aid budget i'd like to look at this headline here poverty barons who make a fortune from taxpayer funded aid budget britain swelling overseas aid budget has

created a new group of poverty barons paying themselves up to two million pounds a year for their work helping the disadvantage so max all of this overseas aid budget goes to the department for international development d f i d i don't know if they refer to as defeated or defended. they had almost five hundred million pounds last year to consultants mostly british many of whom six even seven figure incomes courtesy of the u.k. taxpayer oh yeah well that's the thing about a christmas day special like this need all the good cheer that people are feeling giving. just.

around the world like a crisp triangle from hell and throwing lumps of coal out of a sleigh with some poxy reindeer that he got from a poxy reindeer shop screaming whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. poxy reindeer yes and apparently he was asked what tony blair does for the palestinian territories and he said nothing nothing nothing big fat piece of coal dust and i suppose there is nothing nothing nothing from tony blair and he likes to rip everyone put it in comic square. that's right live lives right near the u.s. embassy right here in london a big fat bone state conic square bungalow and bunker henri plots is next. but back to these poverty barons one of the top poverty barons of the u.k. it is from adam smith international the managing director of the london based

development consultancy adam smith international a asked which gets most of its income from defeated paid himself a salary in dividends totaling almost one point three million pounds in twenty ten adam smith sensitive it's another one of these oxymoron like military intelligence that you would think there for balance morning free markets but no they're just a front group for scams toure's they like to go with the idea that they're free market enterprise but when you scratch the surface or just you know scam well it makes sense because the likes of bondo for example fly around the world with tony blair and gordon brown and now probably david cameron and george osborne and he says ok what order to increase your overseas budget and then we find out that in fact he himself refuses to pay you know that you know how come they didn't do like a live. bond to bail out ireland i mean he's irish isn't it i thought he was irish

maybe he's not irish maybe he's just like some poxy coal burning sleigh riding jerk . so back to this story about adam smith international it grew out of but is now not related to the right wing think tank the adam smith institute they were paid thirty seven million pounds by defeat last year to promote the free market in the third world its total turnover that year was fifty three point six million pounds with profits of five million pounds up ten percent in two thousand and ten so as you see most of their income comes from the u.k. taxpayer and there they are pushing this free market agenda which they themselves don't apparently are unable to compete and they still from the taxpayer by cooking the books and the.

when they show up to get the money out whether it's pension accounts or social security towns in the us would they pay and do it then when they come to get the money they're told you scheming little snow's not ragged ragamuffin bah humbug you know they've stole the money you know whether social security or whether it's here in the u.k. the money's been stolen so back then they go on to look at the field of who is actually who are these poverty barons aside from the adam smith international and i found that several of the best paid consultants are former dea fed officials who appear to have gained substantial increases in their personal wealth since leaving the department even though they are still doing essentially the same work. again it's the revolving door between government and the you know the appendages of government in the so-called private sector but me it's a private public sector it's a bird it's a plane no it's

a no it's not seem to leave it at that dock no what is it it's just about a bunch of guys stealing money left right and center and calling it some kind of quasi. i love the word going to go in this country it just says it just sounds you know corrupt from the from the first q. go you know yeah instead of a think tank oh it's acquiring go and quango is set up to steal from the public in the name of the private enterprise. so how. better in two thousand and thirteen by the way for the poverty barons well while almost all other departments are cutting spending ministers have committed to increase in defense budget which will rise by thirty five percent in real terms in the next three years or more than three billion pounds per year worse than austerity where is the austerity it's not for the. it's not for the food the demo for the dome the direction flock and often. the game you know all of christmas traditions the start

of germany hundreds of years ago we can end the show on christmas day and it's gone now going to be hot and fox and she slipped and she mocked and. i mean that's german for these are dumb and not an irishman well these dumb efforts have done a lot of work in afghanistan and here i have a next story to look at what's happening in afghanistan since we went there to help the people of afghanistan the bank boss that nearly took down afghanistan so there's a report out by the independent joint anti-corruption monitoring and evaluation committee that sounds like one of these out of poverty buried sort of groups they released a report on the collapse of khalil bank and the report found more than ninety two percent of the banks loan book or eight hundred sixty one million dollars was extended to nineteen related individuals and businesses which ultimately benefited twelve people the remaining seventy four million dollars was extended to legitimate

customers in loans so it makes sense that here you have you know a country which has been invaded and then all these think tanks and poverty baron sent there to tell them how to run their business then you see ninety two percent of the loans go to twelve guys you saw that in ireland you saw that in iceland use see that probably here in the united states. and the u.k. is there to bring people freedom and afghanistan but they don't tell you is that they're there to bring free money to these twelve people who are gaming this. destroying the world economy and blaming it on the people you must you must suffer

austerity while we steal billions well perhaps afghanistan will have their own version of austerity if that's possible in a country like afghanistan because the report noted that the failure of kabal bank and the subsequent government bailout represented around five to six percent of afghanistan's gross domestic product making cowbell bank. failures in the world so max think about that the united states and the u.k. invaded afghanistan not only did we quadruple can twelve pull ten topple the production of opium but now we also within by few years saw the biggest bank bailout in global history as a percentage what about frankincense you know frankincense is needed for christmas and something burned over there the holy house to invoke all kinds of religious ceremonies that all come from that part of the country i think yemen is the most robust frankincense market in the world as america that you have to steal all the

frankincense so how was this fraud committed so first kabal bank was moving money through food trays on pap pammy or airway. food trays. you know they would bring you your food your meal on the plane stewardess their three billion dollars in my soup. bag. oh my god there's a billion dollars in my home and. it also noted that the banks credit department with a loan for proxy borrowers on instruction from senior management of ford supporting documents including applications financial statements and registrations and. to lend authenticity to the documents business stamps that harkens right back to charles posing you know who is the whole scam about stamps going back and forth to europe that's great and of course the wording there is a proxy and should be poxy that's the word of the day for this christmas special

poxy and then finally on this story that you know the greatest ponzi schemes in history have always been promoted by the government whether it was the south sea bubble or the two look bubbles and ordinary afghans had entrusted their deposits to cabo bank convinced by a sweeping advertising campaign and good publicity surrounding the bank which was touted by foreign donors and the afghan government as proof that the country was modernizing and stable i.e. the poverty barons pushed the people of afghanistan into this bank saying where the ones that advised them we know it's modern we know it's great big jump some of taliban are out there at the improvised explosive devices going after a few marines meanwhile the u.s. banks are in bank of capital stealing billions. and we've got all rights to see thanks so much darling not us the wedding rings. thank you max all right that's going to do it for this edition of the kaiser report with me max keiser and stacy

herbert and i want to thank our very special guest john cooper clarke if you'd like to follow us on twitter cars report or at facebook dot com forward slash cars report happy christmas or just plain old nice twenty five trillion dollars worth of . forest in your frank imagination about a frank banking scandal that never happened and the austerity measures are good for you by no.
